Well, I read a large section, and I really enjoyed myself. It is the best recent addition to the story section. I love your writing style: it's fancy and descriptive without being too hard to understand. Keep it up!

Hey! Many thanks for the reply Napoleon. Sorry I haven't been too good at reviewing yours - I'm travelling in Hong Kong and various parts of China now, so time is tight. Plus, you write so much! (that's a GOOD thing!)

ottoatm, I must admit...I never before have read any of your work--I guess I just never got around to it. I read part of The Black Scroll of Ragnok just now, really liked it, and decided that I should go more in chronilogical order. As such, I'm reading the Ancient Tomes of Chiron right not; as soon as I'm finished with that, though, then I'm on to The Black Scroll of Ragnok!

Okay, I've read the entire story so far, and I must say that it's fantastic! I love how detailed it is plus all of the great, clear pictures. One thing though: is the Black Pope at the king's castle with Batlek and the creepy "cast" guy, or is it the cast itself? Just wondered, because the guy yelled out, "The Black Pope approaches."

Glad to hear it mr. Zeppelin Tomes of Chiron is only 2 books out of 4 complete, as my collection (you guessed it) is in ny and I need to take more pics. Hope you like the first 2 books (though)!

Black scroll is not related directly to Chiron (later some stories will be related) so it's not required to read one before the other. I think it's a good idea though, just to get the "feel" of Legelot and its history.

I'm glad you like it Napoleon! I was worried a bit about chapter 1, but chapter two gave me a good feeling when I finished it.

About your question... I didn't state it directly, but the pope is "using" the cast. I don't want to say much now, but basically the pope uses these old warrior bodies to travel long distances or even fight. He inhabits the cast remotely.

Chapter 3 comes out next month.

Well, I just finished reading both chapters; I must say that I throughly enjoyed it! You are very descriptive with your writing, which makes the story much more appealing to read. I like it how you placed the whole situation: a dying kingdom, a strong, not about to give up king, and so on.

I think the pictures will improve once you and your collection are reunited (reunited ands it feels so good,... ) Am I correct in saying that you lack the LEGO to do larger shots? Right now, it mainly shows their faces and maybe a little bit of scenery/background; it helps, but it doesn't really add to the story a whole lot (unfortunetly ) I must commend you for making the best out of what you have for LEGO over there in Asia...you've done a good job!

After losing all my pictures one time (and being in China so being unable to take new pictures again until 1 year later), losing the story another time (text and photos) and about 1 million other things... I have FINALLY finished Black Scroll!!!

It was supposed to be an easy project! ack!

For the last chapter (6) I actually switched formats - so chapter 6 is a comic!

From chapter 1-5 it's an illustrated story, using Lego. In Chapter 6 it turns into a comic! heh heh heh...

Anyway, pages 2 and 3 of the comic are a bit wordy because I had already written them in the story format and I just copied and pasted into the comic format. After page 3 it is a traditional comic format with mostly pictures and dialogue.

Several of the pictures turned out really well and look very cool. Some of the pictures are a bit blurry... and I reuse some of them... again this is because I'm still in China while my collection is in the US.
